Not me. I did see the set at Hosstraders hamfest in Hopkinton, NH a
year or two back. Paint was a bit flaky on the front panel of one unit
as I recall.

Sure. Be resourceful, don't wait for one to find you. If you decide to
limit your search to online shopping convenience, expect to pay
through the nose for it and not necessarily get what you paid for. If
you have plenty of money to burn, this seems to be the preferred
method today. If not, hit hamfests, flea markets, yard sales, check
classifieds, and let all of your radio friends know. Most of all, be
patient. I can usually find most things I'm looking for within a year
or two of starting my search, but some have taken 10+ years to find.

It all comes down to how badly you want it, how much you're willing to
spend, and how long you're willing to look. Add 'how resourceful you
can be' to that list.

Good luck -
